1916 37mm cannon de infrantie used by the American forces.
Can you assist? keith

AnswerGreetings

Not 100% sure. If the shell would fit into the breach and you could close it most likely yes. Not something to try on a dare. World War 2 artillery had more powerful explosives in some cases and you done want your gun exploding.
I have found the M1915 manual that might help and check out the other link.
